Kind People
In a shell
On a cliff
In the sea
nothing gives.
When the words
that you hear
describes you,
how you live.
They all care,
so they say-
How are you?
How's your day?
Well it sucks,
if I may-
since you asked
anyway.
It is kind, I suppose
that they "pray"
for my health.
I say "thank you" of course.
Should I pray for myself?
Maybe when one day
I wont wake up so bitter,
Or go to bed angry
because I've lost all my hair.
Maybe I'll pray
and it will go away quicker ,
Or it could disappear.
Why is that so unfair?

People don't know how to relate to people with cancer
It's just like when there is a mass shooting and the pundits say "our thoughts and prayers are with you" and then they wonder what's for dinner ??
I'm an an atheist but I believe in prayer as a singular force with no religion.
I pray for you because of the cruel hand you were dealt
I pray for you because we need you here
I pray for you because I like you

You have summed up exactly how it feels on good days and bad. Not just with cancer but with other medical issues that eat away bit by but from the inside out. 💕

Yes; it's good that they pray for you. 🙏👼
They feel helpless and that makes them feel like they are helping in some small way. It sucks to feel helpless in the presence of pain.
You're allowed to feel exactly how you're feeling. Everything is a process of experiencing.
Godspeed to your health. ❤

Thank you for the R.L. ad and your thoughts. You are very sensitive to this and it is much appreciated. I tend to come off a bit more coarse to the average person. I just say things point blank - so to speak. I dont like sugar coating too much- ( Maybe I should sometimes depending on what I want...)
